A feud is playing out between two public agencies in Southern California this week over beach access.
The accusations started on Friday evening when the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA) — a public agency dedicated to preserving parklands and coastal access in and around Los Angeles — accused the city of Malibu of tearing down its signs directing visitors to “hidden” public beaches along the famous coastline.
“It can be very difficult to find this public access down to this hidden beach,” the MRCA’s Edgar Del Campo said in a video shot on Broad Beach Road, near Lechuza Beach. “This is why the MRCA had these public, coastal access signs installed. ... The city of Malibu chose to cut these signs down and confiscate them.”
The agency went on to say that numerous signs reading “Coastal Access” were installed at the start of the summer, only for the city to remove them after 18 days. The public beach is owned by the MRCA, which describes it as “spectacular,” with exquisite rock formations and stunning views.
The city of Malibu told SFGATE on Monday that the MRCA did not have permission to install the signs in the first place.
“On June 26, 2023, the City of Malibu removed beach access signs that were installed at three locations along Broad Beach Rd, a City-owned street, near Lechuza Beach,” a spokesperson said over email. “These signs require a City permit to be issued to the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority (MRCA).”

Is the city of Malibu a “rich white liberals” sanctuary?
That would explain a lot!
So what rich person paid the politicians to tear down this sign so he can make it his private beach?
In this age of ‘digital everything’, I can’t believe that there is not an app, with links to Google Maps or something, to identify the access routes information.
Did they manage to finally evict Jim Rockford?
It’s for the climate.
The double standard remains the only standard for the left.
That removing of public access signs used to happen north of my area in West Marin County. A little past the city of Dogwood, you’ll find the hidden hamlet of Bolinas, Ca.
Citizens of Bolinas were notorious for snatching down City Signs the day after they were put up. Lots of aged hippy types, artisans or people who enjoyed a small, uncluttered town and wished to be left alone.
Last time I was up there was over 15 years ago.
Maybe the signs stay up now.
“”hidden hamlet of Bolinas, Ca.””
We love visiting Bolinas.
If you want to get a good look at Bolinas, and at the same time witness a wonderful, true story, find the movie Painting Bolinas. It is worth whatever the price is these days.
I’ll be looking into that movie. Thanks for the tip.
Maybe BLM can organize a flash mob. Have thousands of vibrant youth descend upon Malibu beach. Every day. Just to exercise their rights. Every day. Just to enjoy the fresh air. Every day.
Yes of course, they do not wish to have the rest of us cluttering up their “private “ beaches. They just assume they own the whole coast.
IF I need a permit for everything——
SO DO OTHER AGENCIES-—
I know a few people that live there and have the gate code
